If consider every claim separate, looks possible.
Everything, even claims to be better than CPU,GPU and TPU at once.
But to make all claims in one business, in one solution, looks scam.
Because every vector needs it's own very effective leader, and in real life they will compete for shared resources. It is extremely difficult to organize in such way, so will got overall system working smooth and be economically viable.
In best case, I think possible for this company, to deliver some sort of very good number-crunching accelerator, and only then, to consider something more.
But now I see too much self-confidence and too much hidden details.
For example, all commodity hardware suffers from slow commodity DRAM and buses.
It is possible to make complex solution, with custom DRAM (HBM), custom high speed bus, etc, but its net cost will be prohibitive for commodity market.
So need some killer app, which will tolerate so high cost for some more important reason.
This could be something for big corp, or govt, or military, or anything, but I cannot see any fit, which is not already handled with already existed solutions.
For example, I could imagine, we got knowledge about 11-dimensional travel, but for this need too much computational power for current best hardware, so need something much more powerful, and it will pay off.
But I don't see any signs of such knowledge.
